Key Findings
Based on a chapter from the book Strengthening Maritime Security Through Cooperation Policy Implications:
- Security institutions should consider developing formal or informal information-sharing systems with maritime actors in the geographic or functional areas where they operate.
- Stakeholders in a specific maritime problem, whether state or nonstate, should consider the full spectrum of potential roles for nonstate actors.
- The process of developing engagement between state and nonstate actors around security challenges can take time.
